Up at 5:30

We are recently consistently getting up at 5:30. What do you do with them, just stick TV on? I'm sorry I'm not playing for 2 hours before we even have breakfast! I feel like a crappy.mum for sticking the tablet on for an hour. He won't get into bed with us and just chill, he wants to go downstairs and start the day. It's making the day soooo long. Any ideas?

Not sure it’s helpful or will work but any early wake with my boy I say it’s still night time and he stays in his bed even if he’s not sleeping he’s resting x

We’ve started learning the time (not like he can tell the time he’s not a genius!) but he knows he isn’t allowed out of bed until 6am. If he wakes before then he can get out of bed but has to stay in his room. At 6am CBeebies goes on for an hour so I can get ready. I do not feel guilty about this. 😂

What’s your routine? Is he still napping x

I say the same stay in bed. It's night time. No screens. If she wants to get up then fine, I'm not coming. So she stays in bed or play with her soft toys. I also have a cheap projector flashlight with little cards I give her and she will shine that around in her room. Absolutely NO TV!!!

He goes down from 1-1:45 for quiet time, naps about 70% of the time. Bed at 7:15, asleep for 7:45 approx. It's just a long ass day!

I would get rid of that nap and if there’s a wake up at 5.30 bed at 6 x

I keep her in her cot if she wakes early. She knows that before “wake up time” we stay in our cot. She has some cuddly toys and books in her cot that she can play with if she wakes early. Tv or tablets would definitely provide an incentive to wake up and get up early if that is available!

My daughter did the same. Sleep coach said to keep naps but move bedtime to 6pm even tho it sounds counter productive. Start with bed at 7, then 6.45, then 6.30 etc till u get to 6am. Once at 6am, keep doing it for at least 4 weeks because it takes them tat long to get used to the new sleep routine. You won't know for certain until at least 1 month later. She says most of the time they wake up early because they were over tired by bedtime which is why bed needs to be moved forward.

I would have though bed later and no naps. I do bedtime Routine around 8pm No naps during day and she sleeps until about 8am the next morning. Generally anytime she goes to bed at is the time she will lie in to

Some people say he's over tired, and some say he's getting too much sleep🤣 nevermind. Thanks for your input. Il keep winging it and see how I go!
